Hello everyone
I have been vegetarian a while before deciding to go vegan (I watched Cowspiracy & Seaspiracy-they opened my mind). Since going Vegan I have been pleasantly surprised and seen more varieties of delicious no matter which supermarket I go to, 90% of things you know has a vegan option. THIS Isn’t Chicken Plant-based lemon & herb skewers in my local Tesco and I just had to get them, don’t they look great?
I can’t remember the last time I had skewers before but since I thought these looked amazing I just had to try them. I just had to mention it’s the first time I’m trying THIS.
So what are they?
THIS Isn’t plant-based skewers are chicken-style kebabs that are made from soy and pea protein. The chicken style pieces are marinated in lemon and herb and come on a skewer with onion and peppers, delicious!
They are ready to grill or pop in the oven, no need to prep! (which is good for me as I like quick meals sometimes) Not only are they easy to make but they are high in protein, a source of fibre, vitamin B12 and iron.
How did they taste?
Wow, These blew my socks off! I think these taste divine and I am sure many meat-eaters would love these because the texture is very similar to chicken. The combination with the marinade and the veggies balanced out perfectly.
I made the whole packet for my lunch the same day I bought them and guess what? I ate 3 out of 4! They taste heavenly and are something I would get again. My son had the other one as part of his lunch and he enjoyed it too.

My thoughts
I really enjoyed them. They cost £3.50 but I got a Clubcard discount and got them for £3. They are in the middle of the price range for me but saying that they are a great treat. This Isn’t Chicken Plant-Based Lemon & Herb Skewers are new products in their range and I can’t wait to try out more of their products.
Find them in Tesco’s and more info on their site here

I’ve had these before and they are incredible! I actually really love the taste of most of this brands alternatives for meat. Great post x
I need to try and find these at our grocery store. They sound delicious and we have been wanting to eat more plant based food.
I often try products like this, not because I don’t eat meal, but because I’m trying to find the right balance to manage my reactive hypoglycaemia. Given how impressed you were with them, I may have to try them out
This looks so delicious! I am pretty sure I’d be a fan. I’ll have to see if something like it comes to the US.
I wish i could find these here in the US they look amazing. I am vegan and I am always looking for a new plant based option.
These look so interesting to try and deffo something I’d love. Great review xx
I love ready to cook meals like this. And it looks so savory!!
I am constantly fascinated by the amazing amount of flavor and taste creative vegan foods deliver! These skewers look delicious. Being in the States, I will have to see if I can find anything similar. 🙂
Looks tasty! I’d love to give them a try, especially since they’re meatless. Thanks for the tip
I never eat plant based food like this. I would actually like to try this!
These actually look pretty good! I’d try them! Thanks for the review!
If you or the package didn’t say it I would have assumed they were chicken skewers.
Those do look good. I’ve been trying more vegan foods recently. Must get some of these next time I go to Tesco x
I love soy products. And I am so curious to try these skewers.
These skewers looks delicious. I need to try this one.
I do try to go meatless on many meals. I need to try this product. It sounds pretty good to me.

That looks so delicious!

I haven’t had this product before, but I am a vegetarian and we like trying out different fake meats.
